em0n?!
So here's yet another new error!

This is likely only related to people using scriptblockers like myself.

So there's a new site called em0n.com.

While I don't know what exactly it does and couldn't find any info on it, from today onwards, wikia doesn't seem work without it anymore, as any wiki page simply wouldn't load when I visited it today.

Once I allowed em0n.com in my allowed scripts list, though, wikia worked just fine again.

I wonder if that's just another new security thingy related to wikia...

Anyways, feel free to answer my comment and tell me about your experiences with this.

Here's an upate!
Ah, after searching for em0n.com instead of just em0n, I found something after all. It seems to be some kind of honeypot-extension, which is supposed to protect wikia from getting attacked by hackers spamming the wikia servers with page calls.

What is a scriptblocker?
Scriptblockers are browers add-ons used to block malicious scripts that might spy on you, collecting data on your online beviour, steal things like your credit card number or install viruses, etc. on the user's computer, laptop or mobile device.

So yeah, having a scriptblocker add a lot to your browser's security and those things generally protect you, but you need a basic knowledge on what scripts you need for your browsing sessions and which you don't or you might end up being unable to use wikia or even your banking site!
